Equivariant cohomology for cyclic groups of square-free order

Algebraic Topology 2024-04-24 v1

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to compute RO(G)RO(G)-graded cohomology of GG-orbits for the group G=CnG=C_n, where nn is a product of distinct primes. We compute these groups for the constant Mackey functor Z\underline{Z} and for the Burnside ring Mackey functor A\underline{A}. Among other things, we show that the groups HGα(S0)\underline{H}^\alpha_G(S^0) are mostly determined by the fixed point dimensions of the virtual representations α\alpha, except in the case of A\underline{A} coefficients when the fixed point dimensions of α\alpha have many zeros. In the case of Z\underline{Z} coefficients, the ring structure on the cohomology is also described. The calculations are then used to prove freeness results for certain GG-complexes.
